Firefox tab & URL bar font (Ubuntu) #1
Comments
You're welcome! 😄 It's been a lot of work and I've learned a lot. Oh fontconfig is so much fun! 🎉 I'm running MATE with a theme and it is using the correct font for the Firefox UI. That's my excuse for not noticing it! :) I just confirmed, it's fine in my Fedora VM also. I haven't tried it in the newest Ubuntu though. The Here's how to do it and the first few entries in my list are: user@server ~ $ fc-match -s sans-serif

Aha! I am also running MATE. Love that Cinnamon taste. For future adventurers, I went to System Settings -> Fonts -> Default font. Then selected "Ubuntu 10". All looking good, and no need to fiddle with command lines or config files. |
Ok! Great! Let me know if you see anything else that needs work 👍 |
For people who don't use desktop environments: this means setting your GTK font to your preferred font, not "sans-serif" |
@myfreeweb 👍 Thanks! |
I think you're describing the same bug as mine, which is a regression in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1254245 |
The DejaVu font family is based on the Bitstream Vera font family to provide greater unicode coverage. The only way to override the emoji it includes is to make the emoji font the primary system font. This shouldn't be a problem, but a number of programs do not correctly use font fallback resulting in font rendering errors everywhere: #1, #5, #16, #18, #19. This font.conf makes Bitstream Vera the default font for Serif, Sans-Serif, and Monospace font requests since it does not contain any Unicode Emoji characters. Emoji One Color font is the first fallback, followed by DejaVu to provide everything else. Test with: fc-match -s serif fc-match -s sans-serif fc-match -s monospace May be the solution for #17
I just noticed Firefox was still using DejaVu Sans as the source for some emoji even though my new fonts.conf has it far down the list. Setting |
Firstly, thank you for this colour font - it works wonderfully in Firefox on Ubuntu.
The only issue is that the text on tabs, in the URL bar, menus, etc now uses a Serif font which looks a bit ugly.
Is there any way to keep the Emoji font, but have FF use a different fallback font for its application text?
Hope I've explained that well enough :-)
